About the Author

Now writing under the pen-name
of Harun Yahya, Adnan Oktar was
born in Ankara in 1956. Having com-
pleted his primary and secondary ed-
ucation in Ankara, he studied fine
arts at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan Uni-
versity and philosophy at Istanbul
University. Since the 1980s, he has
published many books on political,
scientific, and faith-related issues.
Harun Yahya is well-known as the
author of important works disclosing
the imposture of evolutionists, their
invalid claims, and the dark liaisons
between Darwinism and such bloody
ideologies as fascism and commu-
nism.
Harun Yahya's works, translated into 73 different languages, constitute a collection for a
total of more than 65,000 pages with 40,000 illustrations.
His pen-name is a composite of the names Harun (Aaron) and Yahya (John), in memory
of the two esteemed Prophets who fought against their peoples' lack of faith. The Prophet's seal
on his books' covers is symbolic and is linked to their contents. It represents the Qur'an (the
Final Scripture) and the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), last of the prophets. Under the guid-
ance of the Qur'an and the Sunnah (teachings of the Prophet [pbuh]), the author
makes it his purpose to disprove each fundamental tenet of irreligious ideologies
and to have the "last word," so as to completely silence the objections raised
against religion. He uses the seal of the final Prophet (pbuh), who attained
ultimate wisdom and moral perfection, as a sign of his intention to offer the
last word.
All of Harun Yahya's works share one single goal: to convey the
Qur'an's message, encourage readers to consider basic faith-related is-
sues such as God's existence and unity and the Hereafter; and to expose
irreligious systems' feeble foundations and perverted ideologies.
Harun Yahya enjoys a wide readership in many countries, from India
to America, England to Indonesia, Poland to Bosnia, Spain to Brazil,
Malaysia to Italy, France to Bulgaria and Russia. Some of his books are avail-
